People horrified at finding out what wearing red to a wedding 'really means'

People have been left horrified after realising what wearing the colour red 'really means' at a wedding. While it is common knowledge to not wear white to a wedding to avoid 'showing up the bride', many people are shocked at finding out that there is another colour guests should 'steer clear of'.

While discussing colour-etiquette on their popular podcast show, The Unfiltered Bride, hosts Georgie and Beth explain why it is best to not opt for a red outfit when attending a wedding. After explaining the problems wearing white can cause, Beth asks Georgie: "So are there any other colours apart from white that you shouldn't wear at a wedding?"

"Yes, red." Georgie replies, before claiming: "Red means you've slept with the groom. [It's an] old wives tale, but to me I don't think I'd rule out red as a colour. I think it depends on the dress."
